24 Sep – 23 Oct
Date: Thursday 22nd October 2026
You may be exploring places in your mind that you haven't visited in ages – prompted, possibly, by someone close who has your best interests at heart and can see that you've been doing too much. It might not take much for them to encourage your 'lazy Libra' sub-personality to surface. The upside of this is that in a relaxed state of mind you could arrive at a plan that would be financially beneficial and would benefit this friendship.

A spotlight starts to shine one everything you stand for. Challenge is likely. You might also stand up for yourself in a financial situation – or at least prepare to do so. A friend who knows exactly what you do and the extras that you bring to a job could prove the best advocate. Meanwhile, you may be challenged to cope with a friend born under one of the Water signs who is surfing an emotional wave.
Date: Saturday 24th October 2026
The Sun fuses with your ruling planet – which could make the day special. You might find exactly the right items that would make a difference to your home environment – or enjoy a conversation with a relative who's interested in all you've been doing and who might, now that they know how much something matters to you, let you in on a long-held secret.
Week: Sunday 18th October – Saturday 24th October 2026
Tempting as it may be to think back to how you did things in the past, that might not be your best move. True, Mercury turns retrograde next weekend and throughout this week its movements will be imperceptible. It would be easy to feel stuck. What is clearly needed is reassessment of all that you have achieved in 2026. Considerable progress can still be made – even whilst Mercury is retrograde – though arguably not until the very end of this month. For now, diligence is required. That might mean renewing contact with someone who, without being overly critical, points out ways in which you could have dealt with matters in the past and need to take a different approach now. You won't be the only sign giving thought to insurance and long-term financial arrangements. Priority should be given to essential repairs.
